Potential for updip movement of salinewater in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio, Texas
Roberto Perez
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4032
The salinity front, locally known as the "bad-water" line, in the Edwards aquifer separates the freshwater from the salinewater and occurs where the aquifer is confined. The concentration of dissolved solids of the salinewater at the salinity front is 1,000 milligrams per liter. The concentration of dissolved solids in water...

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4029
A computer program, Numerical Taxonomy System of Multivariate Statistical Programs (NTSYS), was used with interfacing software to perform cluster analyses of phytoplankton data stored in the biological files of the U.S. Geological Survey. The NTSYS software performs various types of statistical analyses and is capable of handling a large matrix...
Evaluation of the U.S. Geological Survey's gaging-station network in Illinois
D. M. Mades, K. A. Oberg
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4072
Data collected at 97 of the 176 gaging stations operated in Illinois during 1983 were used to describe rainfall-runoff processes, to monitor and forecast floods, and to monitor and regulate lake levels, discharge from reservoirs, or discharge of navigable streams. Stream-gaging stations on the Illinois River at Havana, East Branch...
Verification of regression equations for estimating flood magnitudes for selected frequencies on small natural streams in Georgia
McGlone Price, Glen W. Hess
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4337
In 1976 the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Transportation, began a program to monitor small natural streams in Georgia to verify the accuracy of the flood frequency estimating equations for the five flood frequency regions that were published in a previous study. Data collection consisted...
Estimate of livestock water use in Nebraska during 1980
E.K. Steele
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4031
The estimated volume of 148,120 acre-ft of water used by livestock in Nebraska during 1980 is the second largest (after Texas) volume used for livestock production in the fifty Sates. Although water used by livestock is a small percentage of the total water used in Nebraska, this use has a...

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4318
Hydrologic Accounting Unit 120301 is located in north-central Texas and includes that part of the Trinity River basin upstream from the National Stream Quality Accounting Network station 08062700, Trinity River at Trinidad, Texas. Normal annual precipitation ranges from about 28 inches in the western part of the basin to almost...
Reaeration coefficients of six streams in New York; a comparison of results obtained by a hydrocarbon-gas tracer method with those obtained by radioactive tracers and predictive equations
D.A. Stedfast, R. E. Draper
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4028
Stream-reaeration measurements were made in selected reaches on six streams in New York State from 1978 to 1981 with hydrocarbon-gas and dye tracers. The sites were Canadaigua Outlet near Canadaigua, Oswego River at Fulton, Hudson River at Fort Miller, Cayadutta Creek near Johnstown, Chenango River near Morrisville, and Payne Brook...
Evaluation of six methods for estimating magnitude and frequency of peak discharges on urban streams in New York
D.A. Stedfast
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4350
Six methods of estimating peak discharges of urban streams were compared and evaluated for applicability to urban streams in New York. Discharge and frequency values developed from a series of synthesized annual flood records were compared with values obtained from the six methods. The synthesized flood records were computed from...
Quantity and quality of storm runoff from three urban catchments in Bellevue, Washington
E. A. Prych, J.C. Ebbert
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4000
Data on the quantity and quality of urban runoff were collected, analyzed, and used to evaluate the effects of street sweeping and of stormwater detention on quality of runoff. The data included rainfall, runoff discharge, concentrations of selected constituents in discrete samples of runoff, and chemical characteristics of wet- and...
Plan of study for the regional aquifer-system analysis of the San Juan structural basin, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah
G. E. Welder
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4294
The San Juan structural basin is an 18,000 sq mi area that contains several extensive aquifers. The basin includes three surface drainage basins and parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. Surface water in the area is fully appropriated, and the steadily increasing demand for groundwater has resulted in...

Technique for predicting ground-water discharge to surface coal mines and resulting changes in head
L.S. Weiss, D. L. Galloway, Audrey L. Ishii
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4156
Changes in seepage flux and head (groundwater level) from groundwater drainage into a surface coal mine can be predicted by a technique that considers drainage from the unsaturated zone. The user applies site-specific data to precalculated head and seepage-flux profiles. Groundwater flow through hypothetical aquifer cross sections was simulated using...

Vicente Quinones-Aponte
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4160
An assessment of the surface and groundwater resources of the lower Rio Grande de Arecibo alluvial valley was made between 1981 and 1983. Rio Grande de Arecibo is the major source of water in the valley with a mean-annual discharge of 527 cu ft/sec (382,000 acre-ft/yr). Its lowest mean-daily flow...
